Affiliated Meetings

Psi Chi


Psi Chi, the national honor society in psychology, holds its meeting in conjunction with MPA. The Psi Chi program includes multiple student poster sessions, several paper sessions for student Regional Research Award winners, and sessions on successful admission to graduate school and jobs for psychology majors. Psi Chi also sponsors a Distringuished Speaker. Undergraduate students who will present their own research are encouraged to submit to the Psi Chi program. Students at institutions with no Psi Chi chapter may also submit papers to the Psi Chi program. If those papers are accepted they can be presented at one of poster sessions but will not be eligible for a Regional Research Award. (The awards are reserved only for Psi Chi members.) All undergraduate students should register online for the conference in advance.

The Psi Chi MPA site is located here.

Questions regarding the Psi Chi program at MPA should be directed to:

Dr. Daniel Corts
Midwestern Regional VP, Psi Chi

Submissions to the Psi Chi program are due 5 p.m. CST on Monday, November 7, 2011.
